Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible say
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.
Hark now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And we can live for evermore because of Christmas Day.
While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
they see a bright new shining star,
they hear a choir sing, the music seems to come from afar.
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night.
They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight.
Hark now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And we can live for evermore because of Christmas Day.
And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn
and in a manger cold and dark, Mary’s little boy was born.
Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible say
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today
And we can live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say
That we can live for evermore because of Christmas day.
